A CHILDREN'S choir from Uganda is set to treat Weston audiences to two performances next month.

On June 1, the Watoto Children's Choir will be showcasing their skills in two concerts at St Georges Community Centre on Willow Close.

Hosted by Destiny Church, the first performance will start at 4pm, followed by the second at 6.30pm.

Both concerts are free, although spaces should be reserved on the Eventbrite website - click HERE for the 4pm performance or HERE for the later show.

The choir, which will be singing songs from its new album 'Better Days—There Is Hope', raises money for a branch of Ugandan churches which build villages, schools, medical centres and homes.

Its visit to Weston is part of a three month tour to tell the story of orphaned and abandoned African children.

More information about Watoto can be found on its website, which reads: "Watoto is a family made of people from all over the world who are working together to ensure that the forgotten have a place to belong.

"In 1984, during a time of civil war, we planted a local church in Kampala, Uganda to speak hope and life to the nation.

"Since then, we’ve rescued orphaned and abandoned children, placing them in loving families.

"And we’ve come alongside vulnerable women, equipping them with skills and empowering them to be the mothers and leaders God has called them to be.

"To help our hurting neighbours, we also expanded our reach into South Sudan—embracing our sisters and brothers with the love of Jesus, and helping meet their most critical needs.

"We rescue and raise children in a loving family and empower vulnerable women, so together, they can become leaders who impact their communities and rebuild their nation.

"Our prayer is that we give each woman and child a chance at a better future—a future full of promise.

"In over 35 years, the challenges facing Africa have changed, but our vision remains the same. We are a local church committed to celebrating Christ and caring for community."
